• grow more than a few inches tall
• carry out photosynthesis
• reproduce sexually
• transport water

Flowers are reproductive structures in most flowering plants, responsible for sexual reproduction (producing seeds via pollination and fertilization). A plant without flowers cannot carry out sexual reproduction. Growth height, photosynthesis, and water transport are unrelated to flower presence.
